Pokémon UltraSun & UltraMoon |OT| What is this, a crossover episode?
- Thread starter CannonFodder52
- Start date
Managed to grab my copy for only £32 from Argos here in the UK. I refuse to buy from GAME if I can help it but I thought I'd take a peek at how much they're selling it for and to the shock of nobody it's £39.99... preowned copies for £37.99 as well? Ok then
That's because Giovanni is the only one who operated his organization with a clear goal that would not result in their own self destruction (Conquer the region with strong Pokemon and Money), didn't dress their organization to look like a bunch of tools or look like they belong in a J-pop video, and is still the only one who gets main stream appeal (through TCG, Pokemon Anime specials and Jessie & James still keep the Team Rocket name alive).
Man, I can't decide which starter to go with this time around. Went Popplio in Sun, and Rowlet would ordinarily be my next choice, but there are a bunch of other Grass-types that I kinda want to try to use in comparison to, well, not really any Fire-types that are available in this game. I like Litten well enough, too, but I really want to give Decidueye a shot. Hm.
Bout an hour in... do the wild Pokemon ever shut the fuck up in this game? Swear it wasn't this bad in SM
Like their noses or just the encounter rate? Remember walking has less pokemon appear than running, which is less than biking iirc
The cries in the overworld. I only remember it being really bad in Malie Garden in the original games but it's just constant here so far.
I'm debating if I want to get this game. how's the post game? are there actually decent ways to level up pokemon this time?
1) They fixed some of the camera angles in Hau'oli City! This was high on my list of desired minor changes. It's much easier to navigate the city now.
2) The RotomDex popping up when you get encounter new wild Pokémon is a nice touch.

I'm pretty sure, but at the same time I have no idea why I know this. But I've always been in the habit of walking slowly through the tall grass when I want to avoid encounters
Got it this morning, chose Ultra Sun after playing Moon, my brother picked UM after playing Sun.
Picked Litten this time (although Primarina is still the best). Don't know about the rest of the team yet, will be deciding as I play. I'll try not to repeat any Pokémon from my Moon playthrough though.

4 new Pokémon in the base game
1 new mythical
5 new forms for old Pokémon
Welp got a total wipeout from Totem Raticate. The main reason why I got screwed was because I forgot about the fact Totem battles were a 2 v 1 so I was getting set up and pecked by a Rattata and the totem. If I remembered that and frontlined with my Popplio and spammed Disarming Voice I could've won with maybe one casualty. Oh well guess I'll play through the game normally.
Rest in pepperoni
Daih the Grubbin

That sucks. I remember the stomach bug I caught while I was in Florida. I'll see if I could find someone else willing to help me out then. Hope you feel better.
Anyone mind helping trade 3 Pokémon from Sun to Ultra Moon?
Ultra Moon is almost done downloading! Pretty excited to play since I've set some ground rules that should make the game more challenging and interesting.
1. Picking Rowlet, and it's getting boxed ASAP.
2. Playing on Set instead of Shift
3. EXP Share will be turned off and stay off.

You're not gonna like these if the first games didn't interest you.
Tempted to pick this up, put many many hours into Moon and really loved it (haven't touched it since December after getting burnt out on breeding).
Will probably do so when Pokebank is out though, have way too many Shiny/Perfect IV pokemon (that are Level 1) that I would like to use from the start.

I guess I'll be running Inkay and maybe my event Celebi once I'm closer to level 30 with other Pokes.
Really disappointed that Bank isn't updated.
Glad I bred those pokes for nothing.

So is there any real improvement in the main campaign or it's really the same as some people said ?
Hmm, okay thanks. I'll wait for the next gen to jump back in with more enthusiasm. If the price drops and the itch grows, I'll give it a go.
Lmao. Nice!Holy shit, not even an hour in and I find this:
I've found a bunch of shiny Pokemon in my day but I think this is the first one I've caught pre-Shiny Charm or without the Masuda method since like...Gen 3. Guess I'm using an Inkay in this file, huh?
Had zero problems with Rockruff. He obeys me just fine. Beside when I got him my Litten was lv 9 already.
My copy (Amazon's steelbook edition) just arrived........and it's damaged. =_= Bubble mailer, naturally. This is becoming stupidly all too common. I remember the same crap with Fire Emblem Warriors (though I got mine at Best Buy).
Anyone else got their copies all messed up?

So just saw the page on serebii about interactable pokemon, and I'm really wondering why something like the ditto 5 didn't happen ages ago, because it's an absolute god send
Same as SM - finish the Alola Dex and show it to the Director in Heahea City.
Hmm... Despite what I saw from the leaks and being excited for all the move changes and additional pokemon, I'm still hesitant on purchasing this game, because there haven't been enough features and changes to make me get back into the game.
For anyone who's... beaten the game, how's the trainer battles? How plentiful are they (because it felt pretty light in SM)? Is there any place for fast level up grinding (another thing I hated about SM)?
Basically, is this game more engaging when it comes to getting ready for online play? Is it more engaging for Trainer Battles, both during the main and post-game?

I'm super envious D:
